While this study is partly theoretical it includes an exploratory case study in which theoretical insights are applied. In the theoretical part of this study, criteria for a successful poverty alleviation project were developed, guided by sustainability theory and complexity theory. It was proposed that researchers could assess existing projects according to these criteria to show where they were successful and where they could improve. The second part of this research consists of a case study, where an actual poverty alleviation project (The Nomzamo Special Care Centre, Peddie, Eastern Cape) was assessed according to the criteria developed in the first part. For this exploratory case study a non-random sample of 9 participants was drawn from the Nomzamo Special Care Centre and other stakeholders in the Ngqushwa Local Municipality in the Eastern Cape. Data was collected using questionnaires, observation and interviews. The results obtained from analysis indicate that project members particularly experience challenges pertaining to financial resources, infrastructure and maintenance. It is recommended that project members receive assistance from the government departments in order for the project to remain sustainable.

A total of 60 school psychologists and educational diagnosticians across Texas completed a survey to identify the instruments used to screen and diagnose learning disabled (LD) students, and to identify the criteria on which the final diagnosis and placement of LD or non-LD is made. The results of this survey indicate that consistent methods and criteria are not being used for identifying children as LD within the state. Many of the instruments currently used may not be technically adequate for use with a LD population. Implications of the use of inconsistent criteria, inadequate screening and assessment measures are discussed.

The underlying aim of this research is to gain a better knowledge of the relationship between the selection criteria and academic performance of the students of architecture; and the specific aim is to evaluate and improve the methods of student selection in Iranian schools of architecture. The thesis consists of three parts. The first part (Chapters 1 to 3) prepares the theoretical ground for the study. Chapter 1 introduces the general issues of student selection, and Chapter 2 presents a review of the related studies. To supplement the review, a survey was conducted to learn about the present state of affairs in a number of university schools of architecture. Describing this survey, Chapter Three reports differing views on the selection criteria and procedures, and the lack of objective knowledge on this subject. The second part (Chapters 4 to 6) is a close examination of two different student selection methods in Iran by means of a qualitative and a quantitative survey. Chapter Four describes the educational practices in Iran which form the background to the case studies. Chapter Five is a quantitative study on the relationship between selection criteria and the subsequent academic performance of the selected students. The possibility of significant non-academic differences between groups of students who were selected through two different methods, and also the predictive ability of some non-academic variables, are studied in a qualitative survey in Chapter Six. In the third part (Chapter 7) various findings of the previous chapters are brought together. It is concluded that the choice between alternative selection methods is more a matter of compromise than perfection. However, the research findings call into question some of the assumptions of the currently applied selection methods. For instance, little evidence was found to support the customary application of an identical entrance examination for all schools of architecture. Moreover, evidence was found for the noticeable relationship between the academic performance of the students and some non-academic characteristics which the rigid academic selection criteria tend to overlook. Finally, some recommendations are proposed for the improvement of selection procedures for the study of architecture in Iran.

The entrance space of a hospital has formed an effective period of hospital life since it has reflected the scope and the image of the entire facility. Therefore it has directly influenced by the new formation of healthcare facilities on preserving and growing role of the community health instead of threatening the illnesses. Since entrance space is apart from the other spaces in the facility that has shaped by the restrictive nature of the medical technology, the space most efficiently implement these new objectives more than any space of the entire facility. However, entrance spaces of hospitals in Turkey are still bothered with many insufficiencies and displayed a problematic panorama. Therefore, this thesis has obtained the problems of main entrance space, and
has analyzed it with a consistent form of criteria to gather new solution proposals. In order to serve for this purpose, the present Turkish health care environment has explored and entrance space has been analyzed around new emerging concepts that reflect the changing ideals of the community. To present the problems and solution proposals about this specific place sufficiently, they are also evaluated through design and performance criteria. The essence of coping with the stress created by the environment with healing potential is emphasized. As a result, this thesis is expected to influence further researches, new hospital main entrance space designs as well as the renovation of older ones.

Aim: The aim of this thesis was to validate the 2010 American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism classification criteria for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), in particular with respect to its construct validity and the role of autoantibodies within the criteria. Methods: This thesis used data from the Norfolk Arthritis Register, a longitudinal inception cohort of adults (16 years and over) with inflammatory polyarthritis (IP), defined as at least 2 swollen joint for at least 4 weeks. The 2010 criteria were used to define RA, firstly in a re-estimation of the incidence rates (IR) with comparisons made to incidence defined by the previous criteria set; and secondly in a study comparing mortality rates in patients with RA to those of the general population, and how these rates changed over time. Analyses were performed testing the ability of the 2010 criteria to identify those patients with IP at increased risk of mortality, disability, disease severity and radiographic damage. The levels and number of autoantibodies present were investigated as predictors of mortality in patients with IP. The association between anti-carbamylated protein (anti-CarP) antibodies and long term disease outcomes were investigated. Results: The incidence of RA was 40 per 100 000 population; baseline IRs were similar to the cumulative IRs using the previous criteria set over 5 years. Patients who were seronegative were less likely to be classified as RA by the 2010 criteria. Mortality rates in patients with RA were higher compared to the general population (standardised mortality ratio 1.16, 95 percent confidence interval (CI) 1.04-1.29) and declined over the study period at the same rate as the general population. Patients with IP who fulfilled the 2010 criteria had increased risk of early death (hazard ratio (HR) 1.35, 95 percent CI 1.13-1.64), as well as increased levels of disability (beta 0.38, 95 percent CI 0.33-0.43), disease severity (beta 1.63, 95 percent CI 1.54-1.73) and radiographic damage (beta 0.33, 95 percent CI 0.20-0.47) throughout follow up. Patients with two autoantibodies had an increased risk of early death (HR 1.35, 95 percent CI 1.09-1.68), but there was no association with early death and the levels of these antibodies. Anti-CarP antibody positivity was independently associated with worse disability (beta 0.12, 95 percent CI 0.02-0.21) and disease severity (beta 0.23, 95 percent CI 0.07-0.39) throughout follow up. Conclusions: The 2010 ACR/EULAR classification criteria for RA identify patients with IP early in their disease course and recognise those at increased risk of mortality and poor outcomes. The 2010 criteria may miss a subgroup of seronegative patients who nevertheless have a poor prognosis. Novel autoantibodies may be useful to identify this subgroup.

Les critères pour la participation et pour l’exclusion aux procédures d’appels d’offres : une approche comparée entre Brésil, France et Italie. Le procès de sélection des fournisseurs est un défi fondamental pour toute organisation. Dans l’administration publique ce thème devient encore plus complexe, compte tenu des dispositions légales en vigueur qui visent essentiellement à garantir le respect du principe constitutionnel de l’égalité, "pierre angulaire" de tout système juridique. L’administration publique a le droit de définir les critères de participation et de comparer les offres avancées par les différentes parties intéressées à exercer un emploi, fournir un bien ou un service afin de choisir l’offre la plus avantageuse. De l’autre côté, les parties concernées ont le droit de participer à une procédure administrative appropriée qui prévoit un traitement égalitaire et non discriminatoire pour les différents soumissionnaires. Contrairement aux particuliers, les administrations publiques n’ont pas la liberté de choisir de manière discrétionnaire les acteurs avec qui négocier, mais elles doivent prendre cette décision dans le domaine de procédures garantissant, d’un côté, l’accord le plus favorable et l’exécution dans de meilleures conditions de tranquillité et de sécurité et, de l’autre côté, la possibilité pour les opérateurs économiques de concourir sur un pied d’égalité pour l’attribution du marché. Le pouvoir discrétionnaire est souvent considéré comme le remède nécessaire contre la rigidité des règles, les automatismes qui ne permettent pas d’adapter l’appel d’offres et l’adjudication aux exigences concrètes de l’administration, le formalisme dominant qui souvent sépare inévitablement la décision légitime de celle correcte et efficace. L’objectif est de fixer les limites du pouvoir discrétionnaire dont l’administration publique dispose afin de déterminer l’objet, établir les conditions nécessaires pour participer aux appels d’offres et leurs hypothèses d’exclusion. Ces conditions doivent être appliquées sans violer le principe d’égalité et en fonction de critères de logique, du raisonnable et de proportionnalité non discriminatoires, de manière à ne pas représenter une restriction illégitime au droit des entreprises opérant sur le marché. Le but de la thèse est de trouver la ligne de séparation entre le droit de l’administration publique de garantir les conditions de capacité technique, d’organisation, économique et financière, ainsi que d’établir les causes de l’exclusion de l’appel d’offres et le droit des entreprises de ne pas les empêcher d’y participer à cause de critères horribles qui violent les principes d’égalité et de la libre concurrence. L’étude se compose de deux parties. La Première Partie aborde les thèmes qui permettront aux lecteurs des trois pays de connaitre les aspects généraux concernant la discipline dans chacun d’eux par l’analyse de l’évolution historique et réglementaire du système des sources du droit de l’Union européenne (l’étude des différences entre l’UE et le Mercosur, la transposition des règles communautaires et leur mise en œuvre, le dialogue des sources) et l’analyse de la procédure de sélection du contractant (qui contient une petite description des procédures dans les trois pays). Il s’agit, donc, d’une partie plus conceptuelle et "introductive" au sens large. La Deuxième Partie analyse les critères de participation et d’exclusion des procédures d’appels d’offres, à travers l’étude des critères généraux (ou de moralité), les critères spéciaux (critères techniques, économiques et financiers) et les règles de procédure qui permettent de mettre en œuvre la procédure de sélection du contractant. On examine également le rôle des responsables de la procédure et de la commission d’appel d’offres, les caractéristiques du document unique de marché européen (DUME), la régularisation des offres irrégulières et la notation d’entreprise qui est prévue uniquement dans la législation italienneEligibility and exclusion requirements for bidding: a comparative approach between Brazil, France and Italy: The supplier selection process is a fundamental challenge for any organization. In public administration this subject becomes even more complex, taking into account the legal provisions in force which essentially aim at guaranteeing respect for the constitutional principle of equality, "cornerstone" of any legal system. The public administration has the right to define the criteria for participation and to compare the offers put forward by the different parties interested in exercising a job, providing a good or service in order to choose the most advantageous offer. On the other hand, the parties concerned have the right to participate in an appropriate administrative procedure which provides for equal and non-discriminatory treatment for the various tenderers. Unlike individuals, public administrations do not have the freedom to choose the actors with whom to negotiate in a discretionary manner, but they must take this decision in the area of procedures guaranteeing, on the one hand, the most favorable agreement and the 'execution in better conditions of tranquility and security and, on the other hand, the possibility for economic operators to compete on an equal footing for the award of the contract. Discretionary power is often considered the necessary remedy against the rigidity of the rules, the automatic mechanisms which do not allow the tendering and adjudication to be adapted to the concrete requirements of the administration, the dominant formalism which often inevitably separates the legitimate decision of the correct and effective one. The objective is to set the limits of the discretionary power that the public administration has in order to determine the subject, establish the conditions necessary to participate in tenders and their exclusion hypotheses. These conditions must be applied without violating the principle of equality and on the basis of criteria of logic, reasonableness and non-discriminatory proportionality, so as not to represent an illegitimate restriction on the rights of undertakings operating on the market. The aim of the thesis is to find the dividing line between the right of the public administration to guarantee the conditions of technical, organizational, economic and financial capacity, as well as to establish the causes of the exclusion of tendering and the right of companies not to prevent them from participating because of horrible criteria which violate the principles of equality and free competition. The study consists of two parts. The First Part addresses the themes which will enable readers from the three countries to know the general aspects concerning the discipline in each of them by analyzing the historical and regulatory evolution of the system of sources of European Union law (l study of the differences between the EU and Mercosur, the transposition of Community rules and their implementation, the dialogue of sources) and the analysis of the contractor selection procedure (which contains a short description of the procedures in the three country). It is, therefore, a more conceptual and "introductory" part in the broad sense. The Second Part analyzes the criteria for participation and exclusion from tendering procedures, through the study of general criteria (or of morality), special criteria (technical, economic and financial criteria) and the rules of procedures which allow the contractor selection procedure to be implemented. We also examine the role of those responsible for the procedure and the tender committee, the characteristics of the single European market document (ESPD), the regularization of irregular tenders and the company rating which is only provided for in the Italian legislation

L'évaluation des bénéfices et des risques des médicaments joue un rôle central dans la protection de la santé publique. Cependant, et de l’avis général, il apparaît que cette évaluation nécessite d’être revisitée. En 2010, aucun examen n’avait encore été effectué pour déterminer si les méthodes disponibles pouvaient être appliquées à l’évaluation de la balance bénéfice-risque des médicaments dans le cadre réglementaire, et si oui à quel point elles seraient applicable. L’objectif de cette thèse a donc été d’identifier la ou les méthodes pouvant être théoriquement utilisées pour ce type d’évaluation, puis de les confronter à des cas concrets afin d’en déterminer leur applicabilité. Les résultats de l’évaluation des méthodes ont montrés que les méthodes les plus appropriées sont la méthode d’aide à la décision multicritère (MCDA) ainsi que ses variantes. Les résultats de l'application pratique de la méthode MCDA ont indiqué que cette méthode peut être utilisé dans les scénarios communs d'enregistrement en Europe. Cependant il convient de noter que cette méthode ne fournit ni une recette « prête à l'emploi » pour exécuter cette évaluation ni une réponse directeThe benefit-risk evaluation of new medicines plays a central role in safeguarding public health. Nevertheless, it seems that the benefit-risk evaluation calls for further improvement. In 2010, no review had been performed of how available benefit-risk assessment methods could be applied for a regulatory benefit-risk assessment and how feasible that would be when facing real-life cases. The objective of this thesis has thus been to identify method(s) that could be theoretically used for such an assessment, and then to confront it/them to real-life cases, in order to determine their applicability. The results of the methods evaluation showed that the most suitable methods for a regulatory benefit-risk assessment of medicinal products are the MCDA method and the MCDA based methods. The results of the practical application of the MCDA indicated that the method could be used for medicinal products registered through a common registration scenario in Europe. However it should be noted that this method provides neither a “ready-made” recipe to perform an assessment nor a direct answer

The study of lesions as animal-based criteria on pigs is of increasing interest at both research and industry level. Lesions are important outcome measures, able to detect when animal welfare is suboptimal. The presence of lesions is also correlated to a lower quality, and thus to a loss of profits, in the derived products.
This manuscript is composed by two studies investigating the use of lesions as suitable indicators of welfare level and meat quality at both farm and slaughter level.
The first study, performed in Italy, studied the effect of different environmental enrichment devices provided to Italian heavy pigs (intended for the production of Parma Ham PDO) on the occurrence of skin, tail and anatomopathological (e.g. oesophageal gastric lesion) lesions, on carcass traits, meat quality and long-dried products. The tested devices were: hanging chains, wood-log inside a metal racket, edible block inside a metal racket. Results showed an increased tail score in the wooden enrichment, united to a higher F-o-M and a lower backfat thickness in the carcass, and to a lower water holding capacity of the meat. The edible block has not presented changes in skin and tail score, while an increased number of oesophageal lesion score was observed, which did not affect carcass and derived products.
The second study was conducted in Canada. It aimed at assessing the age of the lesion on pig carcass at slaughter through the use of a spectrophotometer and biological indicators (i.e. gene expression, histochemistry, histology) on skin samples analyzed in the laboratory. Results demonstrated that spectrophotometric color assessment is a suitable method which allows to discriminate between fresh lesions (occurred pre-slaughter) and older lesions (on-farm). The results were also comparable with what was obtained from the expression of some tested genes and from inflammation scores assessed through histology.Lo studio delle lesioni nel suino è di crescente interesse nel panorama scientifico e industriale in quanto la presenza di lesioni è un importante indicatore per evidenziare uno scarso livello di benessere animale che si può tradurre in un deterioramento e in una perdita di valore dei prodotti derivati. L’elaborato si compone di studi che utilizzano le lesioni come indicatori di problematiche presenti all’interno della filiera suinicola. Il primo studio, svoltosi in Italia, considera come diversi tipi di arricchimenti ambientali impiegati nel suino pesante italiano (destinato alla produzione di Prosciutto di Parma DOP) influenzino l’insorgenza di lesioni cutanee, della coda e anatomopatologiche (con particolare riferimento alle lesioni della pars oesophagea), nonché gli effetti sulla qualità delle carcasse, della carne ottenuta e del prosciutto stagionato. Gli arricchimenti testati erano: catena, tondelli di legno inseriti in una rastrelliera, substrato edibile inserito in una rastrelliera. I risultati hanno dimostrato che l’arricchimento legnoso ha provocato un incremento di lesioni della coda e un tenore di carne magra superiore e di spessore del lardo dorsale inferiore nella carcassa, nonché una minore capacità di ritenzione idrica nella carne. Il substrato edibile non ha prodotto effetti indesiderati sulle lesioni cutanee e della coda mentre è stato riscontrato un incremento di lesioni dello stomaco, che non ha influenzato la qualità della carcassa e dei prodotti ottenuti. Il secondo studio, svoltosi in Canada, si è occupato di determinare l’età delle lesioni cutanee presenti sulla carcassa suina attraverso l’utilizzo di uno spettrofotometro in sede di macellazione e di indicatori biologici (espressione genica, istochimica, istologia) sui campioni prelevati e analizzati in laboratorio. I risultati hanno dimostrato che è possibile, attraverso l’utilizzo dello spettrofotometro, differenziare tra lesioni recenti (pre-macellazione) o lesioni più vecchie in allevamento. I risultati sono stati confermati da quanto ottenuto dall’espressione di alcuni geni testati e dalla risposta infiammatoria.

Визначення рівня участі батьків в процесі соціалізації дітей з особливими потребами надасть змогу змістовно розкрити особливості процесу соціалізації як первинного агенту соціалізації, та надати практичні рекомендації соціальному працівнику щодо здійснення процесу соціалізації дитини з особливими потребами. У першому розділі кваліфікаційної роботи нами проаналізовано теоретичні засади механізму соціалізації, охарактеризовано дітей з особливими потребами як об’єкта соціальної роботи та розглянуто соціальноправовий захист дітей з особливими потребами. У другому розділі наведено емпіричне дослідження, визначено критерії, рівні та показники участі батьків в процесі соціалізації, обґрунтовано особливості соціалізації дітей з особливими потребами в сучасному соціумі. У третьому розділі беручи за основу отримані результати в ході емпіричного дослідження, надано методологічні рекомендації соціальному працівнику щодо активізації ролі батьків в процесі соціалізації дітей з особливими потребами на основі підходу Синергізму.
The master's thesis is devoted to solving the problem of socialization of children with special needs in modern society and outlining the levels of parental involvement in the socialization of children with special needs, using certain criteria, levels and indicators. Determining the level of parental participation in the process of socialization of children with special needs will allow to reveal the features of the socialization process as the primary agent of socialization, and provide practical recommendations to the social worker on the socialization of children with special needs. In the first section of the qualification work, we analyzed the theoretical foundations of the mechanism of socialization, described children with special needs as an object of social work and considered the social and legal protection of children with special needs. The second section presents an empirical study, defines the criteria, levels and indicators of parental participation in the socialization process, substantiates the features of socialization of children with special needs in modern society. The third section, based on the results obtained during the empirical study, provides methodological recommendations to the social worker to enhance the role of parents in the socialization of children with special needs based on the Synergism approach.

The diversity of fish species found in warmwater stream systems provides a perplexing challenge when selecting species for Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM) studies. An often-suggested approach has been to use habitat guilds to incorporate the diversity found in these systems. My goal is to determine the feasibility of developing habitat suitability criteria (HSC) for the entire fish assemblage in the North and South Fork Shenandoah River, Virginia, using habitat guilds.
I examined the strengths and weaknesses of direct underwater observation via snorkeling and throwable anode electrofishing to sample fish habitat use (e.g., depth, velocity, distance to cover, dominant and subdominant substrate, cover, and embeddedness) indicates that using the data collected from both techniques may produce better criteria than using just one of the two sampling techniques.
To develop habitat suitability criteria using habitat guilds I placed each species a priori into a guild based on a hypothesized guild structure. Transitional life stages with significantly different habitat use were placed separately into the guild structure. The four guilds (riffle, fast generalist, pool-run, and pool-cover) were found to be significantly different from each other using the data collected for the species assigned to the guilds. Criteria were then developed for representative species from each guild and the entire guilds.
Criteria developed for depth, velocity, Froude number, cover, distance to cover, substrate, and embeddedness were used to estimate a habitat response function (i.e., the relations between usable habitat and stream flow) for a representative species from each guild, the guild itself, and for a second species from each guild for comparisons. Both the representative species and guild criteria showed similar habitat response functions for the riffle guild, fast generalist guild, and pool-run guild. However, neither set of criteria performed well for the pool-cover guild. For guilds, other than pool-cover, either the guild or the representative species approach may be a viable option to developing habitat suitability criteria.
The transferability tests were performed to determine if criteria developed in the North Fork Shenandoah River, Virginia would transfer to the South Fork Shenandoah River, Virginia. Only criteria for the margined madtom (Noturus insignis) and the juvenile smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) transferred for both suitable and optimal habitat. Criteria for mottled sculpin (Cottus bairdi), Cyprinella sp. (spotfin and satinfin shiners), river chub (Nocomis micropogon), adult and juvenile redbreast sunfish (Lepomis auritus), and adult smallmouth bass did not transfer. Only the pool-cover guild criteria transferred for both suitable and optimal habitat, while riffle guild, fast generalist guild, and pool-run guild criteria did not transfer. I recommend the use of site-specific criteria for the South Fork Shenandoah or different variable combinations.Master of Science

Blackfin tuna Thunnus atlanticus, dolphinfish Coryphaena hippurus, and wahoo Acanthocybium solandri currently are not managed under the highly migratory species (HMS) fishery management plan (FMP) despite being biologically highly migratory and co-occurring in major fisheries. A review of past international, domestic and regional management regimes; recent consolidations of FMPs; the re-classification of some species within the FMPs and of the migratory patterns of these three species clearly draws into question the application of the inclusion criteria for the HMS FMP. In order to collect stakeholder opinion on including these three species into the HMS FMP, a survey was launched via online fishing forums. However, only 87 respondents participated in the 2 months-long survey process, with 43 % not even completing the whole of the survey. Aside from refusal to participate, the responses on the forums were that of extreme opposition. So, although the nature of these species certainly qualifies them to fall under this FMP, the reaction from the recreational fishing community would make these changes difficult. Given that these three stocks are not stressed nor overfished, the need to place these species under the HMS FMP may not be the best course of action at this time. Moreover, such an action could potentially hurt the recreational fishing industry by adding additional and unnecessary regulations.

Railway signaling is of paramount importance to ensure traffic management andsafety on the rail network. The main lines are divided into sections called ‘blocks’,which are governed by a fixed signal installation. To prevent trains from colliding,each block allows one train at once. In France (and most European countries),train detection is performed by an electrical device called track circuit that consistsof a transmitter and a receiver installed at the track-side, and connected via therails. In the absence of a train, an electrical signal flows from the transmitter tothe receiver through the rails. As a train enters a track circuit, its axles shuntthe rails, provoking a short circuit (also called ‘shunt’): the signal transmitted tothe receiver drops. The detection of that signal drop results in the detection of atrain. This method rarely fails throughout the network, but there can be criticalcases where it may be inefficient. In this Master’s Thesis, new detection criteriaproposed in previous studies have been tested on signals measured in poor shuntingconditions. Three approaches have been tested: one in the time domain and two inthe frequency domain. The time approach compares the short-term and long-termstatistics of the received signals. The observation of a change in the spectra of thereceived signals around the 3rd order harmonic (3OH) has led to the implementationof two frequency criteria: the estimation of the band power around the 3OH andthe detection of the 3OH peaks. The obtained results show that better detection isachieved when the new criteria and the existing one are combined.Tågsignalsystem är väsentliga för att garantera trafikstyrning och säkerhet i tågnätet.Spåren är indelade i sektioner, s.k. block, som övervakas med fasta signalinstallationer.För att hindra tåg från att krocka, tillåts bara ett tåg i taget per block. IFrankrike (och de flesta andra europeiska länder), detekteras tågen med en elektriskspårkrets som består av en sändare och en mottagare som är installerad bredvidspåret och ansluten till rälsen. När inget tåg finns på spåret, flyter en elektrisk signalfrån sändaren till mottagaren via spåret. När ett tåg anländer, kortsluts kretsenav hjulaxeln och signalen försvinner från mottagaren. Minskningen i signalstyrkaanvänds för att detektera tåget. Denna metod sällan misslyckas i tågnätet, men iovanliga fall kan det uppstå farliga situationer. I detta examensarbete utvärderasnya detektionsmetoder, som har föreslagits i tidigare studier, på signaler som haruppmätts under förhållanden med dålig kontakt mellan hjul och spår. Tre olika metoderhar testats, en i tidsdomänen och två i frekvensdomänen. Tidsdomänsmetodenjämför kortvarig och långvarig statistik för den mottagna signalen. I spektrum förden mottagna signalen, har man observerat en förändring runt den tredje övertonen,samt detektering av frekvenstoppar vid tredje övertonen. De erhållna resultatenvisar på förbättrad detektering när de nya och existerande kriterierna kombineras.

This report consider a system describing three competing species with populations x, y and z. Sufficient conditions for every positive equilibrium to be asymptotically stable have been found. First it is shown that conditions on the pairwise competitive interaction between the populations are needed. Actually, these conditions are equivalent to asymptotic stability for any two-dimensional competing system of the three species. It is also shown that these alone are not enough, and that a condition on the competitive interaction between all three populations is also needed. If all conditions are fulfilled, each population will survive on a long-term basis and there will be a stable coexistence.

The current research study investigates the predictive value of two frequently-used benchmark reading assessments: Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA) and the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS). With an increasing emphasis on high-stakes testing to measure reading proficiency, benchmark assessments may assist in predicting end-of-year performance on high-stakes testing. Utah's high-stakes measurement of end-of-year reading achievement is the English Language Arts Criterion-Referenced Test (ELA-CRT). A Utah urban school district provided data for students who completed the DRA, DIBELS, and ELA-CRT in the 2005-2006 school year. The primary purpose of the study was to determine the accuracy to which the Fall administrations of the DRA and the DIBELS predicted performance on the ELA-CRT. Supplementary analysis also included cross-sectional data for the DIBELS. Results indicated that both Fall administrations of the DRA and the DIBELS were statistically significant in predicting performance on the ELA-CRT. Students who were high risk on the benchmark assessments were less likely to score proficiently on the ELA-CRT. Also, demographic factors did not appear to affect individual performance on the ELA-CRT. Important implications include the utility of data collected from benchmark assessments to address immediate interventions for students at risk of failing end-of-year, high-stakes testing.

Esse trabalho oferece uma avaliação da abundância do papagaio-de-peito-roxo (Amazona vinacea) para 2016 e 2017, combinando contagens em dormitórios ao longo de toda a distribuição da espécie, em escala global, com amostragens replicadas em dormitórios na região oeste de Santa Catarina (WSC), em escala local, Brasil. As contagens em escala global resultaram em 3888 e 4066 indivíduos em 2016 e 2017, respectivamente. As estimativas para o WSC foram de 945 ± 50 e 1393 ± 40 para os mesmos dois anos. Não foi observada nenhuma evidência de crescimento populacional de 2016 para 2017, pois o acréscimo no número de indivíduos foi acompanhado por aumento do esforço amostral em ambas escalas. Quando extrapolamos a abundância no WSC para toda a área de distribuição da espécie, segundo a IUCN, e pressupondo densidade homogênea, obtivemos valores que estão acima da contagem na escala global, mas dentro da mesma ordem de magnitude. Nosso resultado oferece uma base sólida para afirmar que o tamanho populacional global de A. vinacea é de milhares de indivíduos, mas não dezenas de milhares. Realizamos um esforço sistemático para considerar as principais fontes de incerteza na estimativa de abundância da espécie. Cada contagem, tanto na escala local quanto na global, incluíram visitas em todos os dormitórios conhecidos dentro de um intervalo de 10 dias, evitando duplas contagens devido ao movimento dos papagaios entre dormitórios. No WSC, a abundância foi estimada usando um N-Mixture Model implementado em contexto Bayesiano. Apesar de nossa estimativa de tamanho populacional e de área de distribuição serem maiores do que as consideradas pela IUCN, sugerimos que A. vinacea permaneça na categoria “Em Perigo”, até que sejam realizados estudos sobre tendência populacional.We offer an assessment of Vinaceous parrot (Amazona vinacea) abundance in 2016 and 2017, combining roost counts over the whole range of the species, with a replicated survey of roosts at the local scale, in western Santa Catarina state (WSC), Brazil. The whole range counts amounted to 3888 and 4066 individuals in 2016 and 2017, respectively. The WSC estimates were 945 ± 50 and of 1393 ± 40 individuals, for the same two years. We found no evidence of population growth from 2016 to 2017 because the increase in numbers is accompanied by an increase in observation effort both in WSC and at the whole-range scale. When extrapolating the WSC abundance estimate to the whole IUCN extant range of the species under the simplifying assumption of homogenous population density, we obtain values above the whole-range counts, but within the same order of magnitude. Such result offers a sound basis for putting the global population size of A. vinacea in the thousands of individuals, but not in the tens of thousands of individuals. We made a systematic effort to address key sources of uncertainty in parrot abundance estimation. Each count, at the local or whole-range scale, includes visits to all relevant roosts within less than ten days time to avoid double counting due to movement between roosts. At the local scale, we estimated abundance using an N-Mixture Model of replicated count data, implemented in a Bayesian framework. Even though we estimate a larger population size and a bigger geographic range that those currently reported by the IUCN, we suggest that A. vinacea should remain in the ‘Endangered’ IUCN threat category, pending further investigation of population trends.

Un'altissima percentuale delle risorse non rinnovabili del nostro pianeta viene utilizzata nell’industria delle costruzioni. Per questo motivo essa viene considerata come la meno sostenibile tra le industrie al mondo, e sempre per questo rappresenta una destinazione prioritaria per la formulazione di modelli di valutazione di sostenibilità ambientale che vengono attualmente utilizzati ed implementati in diversi altri ambiti.
In questa tesi vengono definite le metodologie per la valutazione degli impatti ambientali esistenti più largamente utilizzate e le conseguenti misure di controllo ed incentivo all’utilizzo di tecnologie maggiormente sostenibili per l’ambiente che derivano dalle considerazioni da esse ottenute.
In un contesto come quello attuale, in cui è necessaria una continua spinta in direzione dell’innovazione ecosostenibile, una leva fondamentale può essere rappresentata dalle Pubbliche Amministrazioni, cui dobbiamo il 19% del prodotto interno lordo mondiale. Esse infatti, se dotate di strumenti rivolti al verificare ed incentivare la sostenibilità ambientale, sono in grado di innescare un circolo virtuoso per permettere alle imprese coinvolte nell’industria delle costruzioni di adeguarsi alle nuove richieste, rendendole in questo modo più accessibili anche nel contesto privato.
In particolare in questa tesi viene posta l’attenzione al caso della città di Bologna relativamente al settore dei cantieri stradali, settore in cui gli enti pubblici hanno una decisiva influenza e conseguentemente le loro scelte in materia hanno maggiore peso. Si esamina il Capitolato Speciale d’Appalto e la sua attenzione alle nuove tecnologie maggiormente eco sostenibili, indicando alcune possibili modifiche apportabili per adeguarlo alle precedenti considerazioni, in attesa ed in vista dell’uscita dei CAM (Criteri Ambientali Minimi) nazionali ed alla loro prossima notevole influenza nella stesura dei bandi di concorso da parte della pubblica amministrazione.

Espécies nativas de hábitos herbáceo, subarbustivo, arbustivo e liana de rápido crescimento podem exercer papel importante em práticas visando o controle de erosão para a restauração de margens de corpos hídricos, principalmente onde a regeneração natural é mais difícil, em áreas muito perturbadas, onde a declividade do terreno é mais acentuada e os processos erosivos em diques marginais são mais intensos. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o potencial de aplicação de espécies nativas de diferentes hábitos em testes visando o controle de erosão para restauração de margens de corpos hídricos. No cap.2 foram propostos alguns critérios de seleção de espécies, com sugestão de estrutura metodológica identificando algumas \"características/atributos\" e \"funções\", bem como avaliação preliminar de 43 táxons no contexto da região de estudo. Complementarmente, foram montados alguns experimentos expeditos: cap.3: Avaliação do potencial de germinação e produção de mudas em viveiro a partir de sementes coletadas de 07 espécies nativas subarbustivas e arbustivas (citado no cap.2: \"potencial de propagação\"); e cap.4: Avaliação do desenvolvimento de 08 espécies herbáceas, arbustivas e liana, após submeter o sistema radicular destas a condições distintas de saturação hídrica do substrato (citado no cap.2: \"ambiente de ocorrência das espécies\"). Dentre os 43 táxons: 35 apresentaram características morfológicas do sistema aéreo de interesse para aplicação em experimentos visando o controle de processos erosivos, sendo: 22 de origem pluvial para proteção superficial e subsuperficial de diques marginais, outros 11 de origem fluvial e também pluvial (por meio de barreiras ou faixas vegetais em combinação com os demais tipos) para a proteção da base e bordas de diques marginais; 31 para experimentos visando a recuperação do solo: 10 leguminosas nodulíferas, 21 para cobertura e retenção de umidade; 31 para input de matéria orgânica; e 20 visando a recuperação de diversidade fornecendo recursos para a fauna (cap.2). Dentre 07 espécies avaliadas, a maioria demonstrou potencial para germinação e formação de mudas em de viveiro: 06 apresentaram tolerância ao armazenamento (24-28 meses); 02 conseguiram germinar naturalmente em viveiro em até 14 dias, com elevados percentuais de germinação e preferência por períodos mais quentes do ano para germinar, enquanto outras 02 foram mais lentas (30-60 dias); 03 espécies demonstraram requerer tratamento pré-germinativo para a quebra de dormência tegumentar (cap.3). Para 08 espécies verificaram-se 05 padrões quanto a preferências hídricas. Os resultados quanto ao desenvolvimento de biomassa nos tratamentos corroboraram com grande parte das observações em campo (cap.4). Recomenda-se a realização de estudos que elucidem o papel funcional de espécies nativas de hábitos distintos, identificando e mensurando características e/ou atributos que lhes possibilitam conter fluxos hídricos, desagregação e transporte de sedimentos, sendo os serviços ecossistêmicos de proteção do solo e controle de erosão um primeiro passo para etapas seguintes da restauração.Native species of herbaceous habits, subshrub, shrub and liana of rapid growth may play an important role in practices aimed at controlling erosion to restore margins of water bodies, especially where natural regeneration is more difficult, as well as in very disturbed areas, where slopes are steeper and where pluvial and fluvial erosion in river banks are more intense. Considering the lack of studies with this focus, this study had the aim of evaluating the potential application of native species of different habits in tests for controlling erosion and restoring water body margins. In chapter 2 some species selection criteria were suggested as well as methodological framework identifying some \"characteristics / attributes\" and \"functions\" besides a preliminary evaluation of 43 taxa in the context of the study region. Additionally, some expeditious experimental work was done: chapter 3: Potential for germination and seedling production in the nursery with seeds collected from 07 native subshrubs and shrubs species (referring to \"propagation potential\" quoted in chapter 2) and chapter 4: Development of 08 species: subshrub, shrub and liana, after conditioning the root system of these plants through different conditions of substrate water saturation(referring to \"environment of species occurrence\" quoted in chapter 2). Among the 43 taxa: 35 showed morphological aerial or shoot system characteristics which were of interest for application in erosion control experiments, 22 of pluvial origin, for surface and subsurface river bank protection (and slopes), 11 others had fluvial and pluvial origin(through barriers or vegetable strips in combination with other types) to protect the base and edges of river banks (and slopes); 31 for soil recovering experiments, distributed as follows: 10 nodulating Fabaceae species, 21 to provide coverage and moisture retention, 31 to organic matter input; 21 for diversity recovering experiments, to supply resources for wildlife (chapter 2). Among the 07 species assessed, most of them demonstrated germination potential as well as potential for seedling formation in the nursery: 06 tolerated storage (24-28 months), 02 were able to germinate naturally in the nursery within 14 days with high germination rates and preference for warmer periods of the year to germinate, while the other 02 were slower (30-60 days); 03 species required pre germination treatments for breaking cutaneous dormancy (chapter 3). For 08 species 05 patterns of hydric preferences were observed. The results for biomass development along the treatments corroborate withgreat part of the field observations (chapter 4). In the future we recommend that studies to elucidate the functional role of native species of different habits be carried out, they should identify and measure features and / or attributes that enable the plants to contain hydric flows, sediment transport and retention. These ecosystem services of soil protection and erosion control are the first step towards next restoration stages.

L'extension de la morphologie mathématique au domaine de la couleur ou du multi/ hyperspectral en traitement et analyse d'images n'est pas élémentaire. La majorité des approches se sont focalisées sur la formulation mathématique des opérateurs sans prendre en compte le sens physique ou perceptuel de l'information couleur/spectrale. Les outils développés dans ce travail s'inscrivent dans un nouveau formalisme générique basé sur une fonction de distance. Cette construction permet d'utiliser les opérateurs morphologiques dans le domaine de la couleur ou du multi/hyperspectral en adaptant la fonction de distance. De plus, le choix de la fonction de distance rend les opérateurs valides au sens de la perception ou de la physique. Face aux nombre croissant d'approches existantes, des critères de sélection ont été développés afin de les comparer les différentes écritures de morphologie mathématique. Ces critères sont basés sur le respect des propriétés théoriques des opérateurs, sur les propriétés métrologiques et sur l'efficacité numérique. Grâce à un formalisme prenant en compte l'information perceptuelle de la couleur et intégrant une définition valide des éléments structurants non-plats, deux types d'opérateurs de plus haut niveau ont été définis. Le premier est un détecteur d'objets spatio-colorimétrique passant par la définition d'un gabarit spatial et vectoriel. Le second, est le calcul de spectres de textures vectoriels. L'extension des deux propos au spectral a été réalisé et ouvre de nouvelles questions scientifiques. \vspace{0.5em}

Natural forests are characterised by great vegetation diversity and create habitats for a major part of Earth’s terrestrial organisms. Plantation forests, which are mainly composed of a few genera of fast-growing trees, constitute an increasing fraction of global forests, but they only partly compensate for loss of area, habitat and ecological functions in natural forests. Plantation forests established near natural forests can be expected to serve as buffers, but they seem to be relatively poor in invertebrate species and it is not clear why. This bachelor’s degree project aimed at establishing the ecological and edaphic factors that correlate with soil invertebrate diversity in dry upland forests and surrounding plantation forests in eastern Africa. Some aspects of the above-ground vegetation heterogeneity were investigated since this was assumed to influence the heterogeneity of the soil environment, which is considered as critical for soil biodiversity. The obtained knowledge may be valuable in conservation activities in East African forests, which are threatened by destruction, fragmentation and exotic species. The study area was Karura Forest, a dry upland forest in Nairobi, Kenya. Three different sites were investigated; a natural forest site characterized by the indigenous tree species Brachylaena huillensis and Croton megalocarpus, and two different plantation forest sites, characterized by the exotic species Cupressus lusitanica and Eucalyptus paniculata, respectively. For each forest type, six plots were visited. Soil invertebrates were extracted from collected soil and litter samples by sieving and Berlese-Tullgren funnels. The invertebrates were identified, and the taxonomic diversity calculated at the order level. The ecological and edaphic factors, measured or calculated for each plot, were tree species diversity, ratio of exotic tree species, vertical structure of trees, vegetation cover, vegetation density, litter quality, soil pH, soil temperature and soil moisture. One-way ANOVA was used to compare soil invertebrate diversity and other variables between different forest types. Akaike’s Information Criterion and Multiple Linear Regression were used to establish linear models with variables that could explain measured variations of the diversity. There was some evidence for higher soil invertebrate diversity in natural forests than in surrounding plantation forests. The abundance of soil invertebrates was also clearly higher in natural forests, which indicates that natural forests are more important than plantation forests for conservation of soil invertebrate populations. Soil invertebrate diversity (in terms of number of orders present) was found to be influenced by forest type and litter quality. The diversity was higher at places with high amounts of coarse litter, which here is considered as more heterogenous than fine litter. The dependence on forest type was partly a consequence of differences in soil pH since Eucalyptus trees lower soil pH and thereby also soil biodiversity. No relation to heterogeneity of above-ground vegetation was found. For future conservation activities in Karura Forest Reserve it is recommended to continue removing exotic plant species and replanting indigenous trees, to prioritize the removal of Eucalyptus trees before Cypress trees, to only remove a few trees at a time and to establish ground vegetation when doing so.

Previous issue date: 2012-03-28The human actions has triggered many threats to biodiversity like land-use and climate changes, overexploitation, pollution, and introduction of invasive species, which can affect organisms both at local and global scale. The science of spatial conservation prioritization emerged as a quantitative approach to support the spatial decisions in face of these threats, while minimizing the socioeconomic and political conflicts. Here we developed spatial solutions to the conservation of non-flying mammals from Brazilian Cerrado considering the socioeconomic costs and the opportunities of environmental governance (first objective). Further, we generated solutions to face the land-use and climate change taking into account the dispersal abilities of species and uncertainties in the species distribution modeling (SDM) process (second objective). We considered the current network of reserves of the Cerrado in both objectives. We built SDMs for 154 species combining model projections weighted by their statistical fit to produce consensus maps of species distribution grouped in three distinct types of models (envelope, statistical and machine-learning models), for both current future scenarios of climate (used only in the last aim). For the first goal, we used the current predicted distribution to run spatial prioritization analyses indicating the best sites for the conservation investment considering human population density, land cost, anthropogenic land use, level of environmental governance, and the distribution of species in trade-off analyses. For the second goal, we used both current and future predicted distribution to run optimization procedures and propose priority sites for conservation, while minimizing species climate-forced dispersal distance , the mean uncertainty associated to the SDM process, and taking into account the future changes in the landscape (by our land use model). SDMs indicated that species-rich sites converge to regions with high population density, high land cost, high anthropogenic land use, and with diverse levels of environmental governance. There was a significant change in spatial priorities when socioeconomic and political dimensions were included in analyses: top priority sites moved towards the north. This spatial change reduced by 68% the potential conservation conflicts with human population, by 72% the likely conflicts arising from land cost and by 68% anthropogenic land use. It also increased by 51% the beneficial effect of environmental governance. Including land-use changes and the modeling uncertainty in the conservation planning process changed significantly the spatial distribution of priority sites in the region. While the inclusion of land-use models altered the spatial location of priority sites at the regional scale, the effects of climate change tended to take place at the local scale. Note that, our solutions already include possible dispersal corridors linking current and future priority sites for mammal conservation, as well as a formal risk analysis based on planning uncertainties. Our results allowed dealing with both complex nature of conflicts among socioeconomic and political dimensions, and the dynamic problem imposed mainly by land-use and climate change. Thus, our analyses figure as a methodological prospect supporting the decision-make process and the consequent translation of conservation planning outcomes into conservations actions
As ações humanas têm desencadeado diversas ameaças a biodiversidade como as mudanças de uso do solo e do clima, sobre-exploração, poluição e introdução de espécies invasoras, que afetas os organismos da escala local até a global. A ciência da conservação espacial para conservação emergiu como uma abordagem quantitativa que tem o objetivo de auxiliar escolhas espaciais que lidem com essas ameaças enquanto minimizam conflitos socioeconômicos e políticos. Aqui nós desenvolvemos soluções espaciais para conservação de mamíferos não voadores do Cerrado considerando os custos socioeconômicos e as oportunidades vindas da governança ambiental (primeiro objetivo). Além disso, nós geramos soluções espaciais que lidem com as mudanças do uso do solo e climáticas levando em consideração as capacidades de dispersão das espécies e as incertezas associadas ao processo de modelagem de distribuição de espécies (MDE) (segundo objetivo). Em ambos objetivos nós consideramos a atual rede de reservas do Cerrado. Nós modelamos a distribuição de 154 espécies combinando as projeções dos modelos e pesado pelo ajuste estatístico para produzir os mapas consenso de distribuição das espécies, agrupados em três distintos tipos de modelos (modelos de envelope, estatísticos e de inteligência artificial), para a atualidade e projetados para o futuro (usado apenas no último objetivo). Para o primeiro objetivo, nós usamos as predições da atual distribuição das espécies para realizar as análises de priorização espacial, indicando os melhores locais para investimento considerando a densidade humana, custo da terra, uso do solo antropogênico, nível de governança ambiental e a distribuição das espécies na perspectiva da análise de demandas conflitantes. Para o segundo objetivo, nós usamos a distribuição atual e futura das espécies para realizar o procedimento de otimização e propor locais para conservação que minimizem os efeitos da dispersão induzida pelas mudanças climáticas, incertezas associadas ao processo MDE e considerando as futuras mudanças na paisagem (através do nosso modelo de uso do solo). A MDE indicou que locais ricos em espécies convergem para locais com alta densidade populacional, alto custo de terra, alta proporção de uso do solo voltado para atividades humanas e diversos níveis de governança ambiental. Houve significativas mudanças nas prioridades espaciais quando as dimensões socioeconômicas e políticas foram incluídas nas análises, fazendo que os locais prioritários mudassem para o norte. Essa mudança espacial reduziu em 68% de potenciais conflitos com população humana, em 72% de conflitos de custo da terra, em 68% de conflitos com o uso do solo antropogênico e 51% de aumento dos possíveis benefícios da governança ambiental. Quando incluímos as mudanças de uso de solo e a incerteza da modelagem no processo de planejamento, os locais prioritários mudaram significativamente na região. Enquanto a inclusão das mudanças no uso do solo alterou a localização espacial dos locais prioritários em escala regional, os efeitos da mudança climática tenderam a ocorrem em escala local. Note que nossas soluções já incluíram possíveis corredores de dispersão para ligação entre as atuais áreas prioritárias com aquelas importantes no futuro, tão bem quanto a análise de risco baseado nas incertezas do planejamento. Nossos resultados permitiram lidar tanto com a complexa natureza dos conflitos entre dimensões socioeconômicas e políticas quanto com problema dinâmico imposto principalmente pelas mudanças do uso do solo e climáticas. Assim, nossas análises auxiliam metodologicamente a dar suporte no processo de tomada de decisão e a consequente tradução dos resultados de planejamentos de conservação em ações de conservação

My aim in undertaking this research was to identify those specific aspects that would be incorporated within any design process in designing for blast loadings to above ground structures in the Australian environment. Structural engineers are presently forced to use Standards, Codes and Technical Manuals to apply blast loadings to above ground structures during the design process from overseas countries such as America and the United Kingdom. Australian Standards are available to design for design loadings such as dead loads, live loads, wind loads, and earthquake loads but not blast loads. My thesis will investigate and recommend the design criteria as well as design strategies considered applicable for the Australian environment that could be incorporated into an Australian Blast Loading Standard. Blast loadings occur during “Controlled Demolitions” from a deliberately designed explosive demolition (Implosion) of an above ground structure and an “Uncontrolled Demolition” resulting from a bombing event with normally an unknown charge weight and type of explosive. The latter is the most difficult for a structural engineer to design for in advance as he only has past historical events to help him identify the type of explosive that may be used by a bomber within the Australian environment and a charge weight (kg) that is likely to be detonated. In other words, what is the explosive threat from bombings on Australian soil and has it been identified? A detailed literary review covering all aspects of the topic coupled with the use of suitable computer simulation software such as ABAQUS, ELS (Extreme Loading of Structures), LS-DYNA and CONWEP to investigate blast loading of above ground structures was carried out to arrive at suitable recommendations. Although there are suitable and proven overseas codes, standards, etc. that can and are being used extensively within Australia at present to accommodate blast loadings Australia has does not have its own home grown technical documentation to refer to and this is considered unacceptable in 2018. We have never considered and identified the Australian threat in case of an “uncontrolled” demolition (bombing) and by that it is meant what type of explosives would be used (military or civilian) and what is the likely charge weight (kg) that would be detonated against a target. This is unfortunately the case even though we have had several terrorist attacks in Australia since the 1970”s and experienced a major bombing close by in Bali Indonesia in 2002 where many Australians were killed as a result of several bombings with one of particular interest being a 1.02 tonne charge weight car bomb classified as a “homemade” thermobaric (Chan and Meyers, 2005) bomb. The charge in this case was manufactured at home with readily available explosive products purchased locally. With several implosions (controlled demolitions) failing over the years tighter design considerations are needed for the safety of the public. Apart from researching in depth the topic there is a need to articulate the design criteria that applies as well as the strategies that need to be employed to institute such designs in relation to both blast and ballistic loadings. This aspect is particularly critical as designers are using overseas design codes and manuals that may not fit the Australian environment. In other words, we might be importing into our environment designs that are overconservative and inappropriate and susceptible to error during their implementation within designs on Australian soil - why?

Under the trend of globalization, translation works have come to be increasingly popular; through reading translation works from other countries, people in different areas appreciate foreign cultures more, and in turn promotes cultural exchanges. As a consequence, how to represent the authentic color of source text has become a core issue that contemporary translation study would like to deal with. The present study selects a well-established Chinese writer, Qi Jun’s When Tangerines Turn Red as research material, exploring the coping strategies that the translator, Zhou Yipei employs to tackle cultural translation problems based on the seven criteria of textuality (cohesion, coherence, informativity, intentionality, acceptability, situationality, intertextuality) brought up by Beaugrande and Dressler in 1981. This research first makes a contrastive comparison of cultural differences between the West and the East based on Nida’s classification of culture. Then, the research sorts out how the translator deals with these cultural problems. After that, the present study reviews the translation of those cultural problems based on the seven standards of textuality. Lastly, this research concludes the relations between seven criteria of textulity and the strategies the translator employs. After an in-depth analysis, the present study observed that the coping strategies for cultural translation problems in When Tangerines Turn Red are: transliteration, literal translation, omission, simplification, paraphrase, free translation, domestication, and annotation. In terms of the two basic orientations toward translation, it is found that the translation of When Tangerines Turn Red is more target-reader-oriented. In addition, it is concluded that in examining the relations between coping strategies and the seven criteria of textuality, omission, simplification, paraphrase, free translation, and domestication help the text achieve cohesion, coherence, acceptability; transliteration and literal translation help the text achieve intentionality and situationality; annotation helps the text achieve coherence, informativity and acceptability; literal translation, free translation, domestication, and annotation help the text achieve intertextuality.

This study aims to investigate New Taipei City’s parents’, general education teachers’, and special education teachers’ perspectives on admission criteria and proficiency for young children with special needs prior entering general education classrooms. The instrument used was self-developed, and included six domains, such as self-care, social-emotional learning, communication, cognition, perceptual and motor, fundamental academic skills. The semi-structured interview was also utilized to strengthen this study. Of all the valid questionnaires, 107 were collected from parents, 171 from general education teachers, and 102 from special education teachers. The response rate was 72.8%, 81.8%, and 73.4% respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, T-test, and One-way ANOVA. The results were found as follows: 1. The three different target participants’ perspectives mainly fell on the section between “highly agree” and “agree.” (1) Perspectives on the domain of self-care: The parents considered “being able to use the toilet independently,” the general education teachers considered “being able to eat independently,” and special education teachers considered “being able to notify poops in one’s pants” as the primary criteria and proficiency. (2) Perspectives on the domain of social-emotional learning: The three different target participants all believed that the primary criteria and proficiency was “to enter classrooms when hearing ringing bells.” (3) Perspectives on the domain of communication ability: The parents and special education teachers considered “being able to express self needs (e.g., I want to pee.), and general education teachers consider “being able to understand teachers’ instructional directives” as the primary criteria and proficiency. (4) Perspectives on the domain of cognitive ability: The parents and general education teachers considered “being able to tell personal information,” and special education teachers considered “being able to concentrate and participate into activities” as the primary criteria and proficiency. (5) Perspectives on the domain of perceptual and motor abilities: The parents considered “being able to use first three fingers to hold pens or spoons,” and general and special education teachers considered “being able to sit still and complete activities” as the primary criteria and proficiency. (6) Perspectives on the domain of fundamental scholastic ability: The three different target participants all considered “being able to read and recognize basic Chinese characters” as the primary criteria and proficiency. 2. The participants’ perspectives on the ranking of six domains were as followed: “self-care” was ranked as unquestionably important, “social-emotional learning” was ranked as very important, and “communication ability” was ranked as fairly important. 3. The effects of the participants’ personal backgrounds on their perspectives: There were significant differences between the six domains and the participants’ identification, education levels, usefulness of professional training, and years of teaching. There were also significant differences between family with or without autism children and the domains of social-emotional learning and communication. Furthermore, there was a significant difference between the teaching philosophy and the domain of cognitive development. However, there were no significant differences among other types of disability, the levels of disability, and parents’ age.

Joshi, Kosha Kaushal. "Empirical Study on a Class of Problems for Omnichannel Retailing in India with Special Reference to Apparel Industry." Thesis, 2023. https://etd.iisc.ac.in/handle/2005/6171.
Анотація:
Omnichannel retailing is an integrated experience that melds the advantages of physical stores with information-rich online shopping. To offer a seamless omnichannel shopping experience, retailers need to understand what drives customers towards omnichannel and what dissuades them away from omnichannel. Also, retailers need to build cross channel synergies with effective decision-making regarding order fulfillment. Thus, with this premise, this study addresses a class of problems related to omnichannel with specific research objectives to (a) understand customer-specific drivers and barriers for the adoption of omnichannel (b) rank those drivers and barriers according to their importance (c) classify omnichannel customers according to sociodemographic characteristics and buying behavior, and (d) propose a solution methodology for fulfillment decision problem in omnichannel. To address these objectives, this study is confined to the apparel industry in India and the required primary data is collected from Mumbai and Bangalore as they are among top five Indian cities in terms of omnichannel orders and their price-value.
For addressing the first research objective, 10 unique drivers for the adoption of omnichannel retailing in the Indian apparel industry (D-AOCRIAI): Improved Shopping Experience, Reduced Effort, Social Influence, Habit, Hedonic Motivation, Technology Development, Enhanced Promotion, Sporadic Event, Personalization, and Integrated Supply chain and 9 unique barriers (B-AOCRIAI): Inconsistency in Offering, Channel Discord, Lack of Trust, Data Privacy Concern, Lack of Infrastructure and Resources, Psychological Hinderance, Poor Customer Support, Inefficient Order Fulfillment, and Difficulty due to Sporadic Events and their measurement variables are identified. Total Interpretive Structural Modelling (TISM) and Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) approaches are used to propose an initial conceptual framework for each of D-AOCRIAI and B-AOCRIAI using data from 12 domain experts and 23 customers.
The proposed conceptual framework for each of D-AOCRIAI and B-AOCRIAI is statistically validated and finalized by following descriptive research methods including confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The data required for statistically finalizing the proposed framework is collected from 850 customers comprising of 448 adopters and 402 non-adopters of omnichannel by developing an appropriate questionnaire. From the total variance (R2) explained with respect to D-AOCRIAI (R2 = 0.86) and B-AOCRIAI (R2 = 0.71), final version for each of the frameworks is constructed. Further, it is evident that Drivers: Improved Shopping Experience, Reduced Efforts, and Social Influence directly and positively impact omnichannel adoption. Also, Barriers: Lack of Trust, Psychological Hindrance, and Lack of Infrastructure and Resources directly and negatively impact omnichannel adoption.
To address the second research objective, the identified unique drivers and barriers are ranked using MCDM methods: Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), and Best Worst Method (BWM) respectively using data collected from the group of 36 customers by developing suitable questionnaire for each of these MCDM methods. From the results obtained, it is observed that the most important drivers are: Reduced Effort, Improved Shopping Experience and Enhanced Promotion. Similarly, the most important barriers are Data Privacy Concerns, Psychological Hinderance, and Inconsistency in Offering.
Classification models are developed with approaches: decision tree, random forest, and adaptive boosting to address third objective – that is classifying the customers into adopters and non-adopters of omnichannel based on their sociodemographic characteristics using data from all 850 respondents. It appears from the results that Age, Profession, and Income were found to be the most significant sociodemographic characteristics impacting the adoption of omnichannel. Further, adopters of omnichannel are segmented based on the buying behavior (Recency, Frequency, and Monetary Value) using K-Means clustering into 4 different clusters: Omni-connected, Omni-consistent, Omni-spenders, and Omni-hesitant.
Finally, to address the fourth research objective of the research, a solution methodology for the decision problem of online order fulfillment in omnichannel is developed by formulating the problem as a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model with the objective of cost-minimization. The problem configuration considers a deterministic demand over multiple periods and computes product flow across various locations in a retailer’s network. From the optimal solution obtained, it appears that fulfillment of online orders through ‘warehouse’ and ‘direct-to-customer center’ is more cost effective.
The research problems considered in this study can serve as empirical evidence to assist retailers in developing cluster-wise omnichannel strategies. Retailers should focus on offering an improved, personalized, and convenient shopping experience while ensuring data privacy and mitigating inconsistencies. Though this research has achieved all the planned objectives, there are certain limitations. The inferences of the study cannot be generalized at the pan-India level across different product categories. The proposed classification models for clustering use self-reported ordinal values from customers regarding their buying behavior. The proposed mathematical model for order fulfillment uses deterministic demand. Future research could validate the proposed models for across different geographies and product categories. Also, the independent decision problem of ‘omnichannel fulfillment’ can be treated as an integrated decision problem with pricing, inventory, and last-mile delivery.

Symmetric-key cryptography system has many advantages of high performance, low cost of implementation, and easily encrypting or decrypting messages. A core component of these systems is the cryptographic boolean functions. Therefore, it is research topic for boolean functions on the cryptographic properties. Many researchers have provided many cryptographic criteria to verify the cryptographic properties of boolean functions. We focus the following criteria of the cryptographic boolean functions: (1)balancedness,(2)algebraic degree, (3)nonlinearity,(4))propagation criterion,(5)correlation immunity. In this thesis, we first introduce these cryptographic criteria. Using the Walsh-Hadamard transform of boolean function, we analyze the boolean function on cryptographic properties. Moreover, we study and review the relationship among these criteria. From this, We present two new constructions of a strong boolean function under of consideration of propagation criterion and correlation immunity simultaneously.

Text in AfrikaansTen einde 'n kurrikulum relevant en doeltreffend te kan hou, is di t noodsaaklik om die kurrikulum gereeld te evalueer en dienooreenkomstig die bevindinge aan te pas, indien nodig. Spesiale skole in Suid-Afrika beskik oor 'n eiesoortige kernkurrikulum wat hoofsaaklik ontwikkel is vir leerders wat primer verstandelik matig gestrem is. Om verskeie redes, waarvan die belangrikste is, dat die meerderheid leerders wat hulle tans in spesiale skole bevind nie verstandelik matig gestremd is nie, word die werklike doeltreffendheid en relevansie van hierdie kurrikulum bevraagteken. Die doel van hierdie navorsing was derhalwe om die doeltreffendheid en relevansie van die kernkurrikulum wat vir die meerderheid spesiale skole in Suid-Afrika van toepassing is, te bepaal. 'n Sekondere doel van die ondersoek was om 'n kurrikulumevalueringsmodel te ontwikkel aan die hand waarvan kurrikulumevalueerders 'n kurrikulum vanuit 'n literatuurperspektief sou kon evalueer. Ten einde die ondersoek teoreties te fundeer, is 'n li teratuurondersoek onderneem na die grondslae en komponente van 'n kurrikulum. Op grond van die navorsingsresultate is die kurrikulumevalueringsmodel ontwikkel. Twee van die kurrikulumgrondslae wat by wyse van die navorsing blootgele is, is die leerder en die gemeenskap. By wyse van 'n li teratuur- en dokumentasie-ondersoek is bepaal wat die eise is wat spesialeskoolleerders en die gemeenskap aan die kernkurrikulum vir spesiale skole stel. Aan die hand van hierdie bevindinge is kurrikulumevalueringskriteria ontwikkel waarmee die kernkurrikulum vir spesiale skole toe geevalueer is. By die toepassing van hierdie kriteria is gevind dat die kernkurrikulum vir spesiale skole in vele opsigte nie behoorlik aan die eise van die leerders en die gemeenskap voldoen nie. Die gevolgtrekking kon derhalwe gemaak word dat die kernkurrikulum vir spesiale skole oor die algemeen nie doel treffend en relevant genoeg is nie. Aanbevelings is gemaak oor hoe die kernkurrikulum moontlik meer doeltreffend en relevant gemaak kan word.
Sustaining curriculum relevance and effectiveness, necessitates regular curriculum evaluation and adjustment in concurrence with the evaluation results. Special schools in South Africa have at their disposal their own · peculiar curriculum which was developed mainly for learners who are primarily mildly mentally disabled. For various reasons, the most important of which is that the majority of learners currently in special schools are not mildly mentally disadvantaged, the relevancy and effectiveness of this curriculum are questioned. The primary aim of this research was therefore to determine if the core curriculum for special education, which is applicable to the majority of special schools in South Africa, is relevant and effective. A secondary aim of this investigation was to develop a model for curriculum evaluation by means of which curriculum evaluators would be able to evaluate a curriculum from a literature perspective. With a view to founding this research theoretically, literature research was conducted into the foundations and components of the curriculum. On the basis of the research findings, the model for curriculum evaluation was developed. Two of the curriculum foundations that were disclosed by means of the research, were the learner and the community. By means of an investigation of literature and other relevant documentation, the demands made on the curriculum by the learner and the community, were determined. On the basis of these findings, criteria were developed by means of which the core curriculum for special schools was then assessed. When the above criteria were applied, it was found that in many respects the core curriculum for special schools did not completely comply with the demands of the learners and the community. The conclusion could therefore be drawn that the core curriculum for special schools are in general not effective and relevant enough. Proposals were made on how the core curriculum could possibly be made more effective and relevant.

In Taiwan, high-tech electronic industry creates a powerful economic development for almost 30 years till now. The supply chain plays an important role that makes the electronic industry develop vigorously. It has established a complete supply chain system from the upstream of raw material purchasing to the downstream of product sales. Especially the raw material purchasing affair is always full of mysteries and lures people to explore the inside thoroughly. Out of this curiosity to purchasing, it is a motive that drives me to study the purchasing decision and want to have a deeper understanding how manufactures choose their raw material suppliers for specialty gas. Past studies are mainly from the perspectives on evaluation of raw material suppliers while this study is from the selected suppliers’ perspective to probe their customers. (the respondents of this questionnaire). When making the suppliers evaluation, the considered and valued principles assist suppliers to know their own pros and cons. This is future improvement on both selling behavior and reference standards of selling determination. The respondents include four types of high-tech upstream manufacturers such as Semiconductor, TFT-LCD, Photovoltaic and LED. Fuzzy Multi-criteria decision making (FMCDM) is proposed as a methodology to solve the supplier selection problem. Six evaluation criteria and four specialty gas suppliers are adopted to do the questionnaire survey and research analysis. The research results of integral and respective industry report that quality is primary in six criteria. Cost is secondary and service is tertiary. The empirical result of supplier selection reports that the fourth supplier (S4) is the best alternative of these four suppliers. According to this analysis result, it shows that a supplier only possesses the cost advantage could not be adopted and selected in these four high technology electronic industries. It still needs to tie in with other criteria such as quality, service, and so on to make supplier to possess much more competitiveness. The research analysis result of this study can be applied into practicing and offer the specialty gas supplier reference information while facing supplier selection among the four types of manufacturers. It makes specialty gas supplier to review its pros and cons and strengthen its own competitiveness and operation performance.

On the tread of fewer children, elementary schools developing their own characters have become the focus of the developments of school. And in Business Weekly and Education Parenting Family Lifestyle magazine published in February in 2009 have reported characteristic schools in Taiwan at the same time and it showed the importance of characters in school. This research would use the Fuzzy Delphi Method and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process to analyze the evolutional criterion and percentage of choosing the stage of developing characters when schools develop their characters. According to the results, there are six evolutional criterions of electing characters in elementary schools. And they are, “there are professional people in community for supporting the development of characteristic curriculum”, “the supports of the development of characteristic curriculum from community and parents”, “the development of characteristic curriculum has its uniqueness”, “the development of characteristic curriculum integrates field curriculums”, “the development of characteristic curriculum joins with”, and “the development of characters becoming curriculums can make students learn each basic abilities of the norms of 1-9 grade curriculum”. From this result, the development of characteristic curriculum in elementary schools must take the support of community and parents and the integration of professors, parents and so on exterior faculties into first consideration. And the designed curriculums in school must base on students’ learning effects. Once we can make good use of this rule, every school can successfully develop its own characteristic curriculums. This research concludes the important evolutional criterions and its percentage of the development of characteristic curriculum gathered form principles’ and professors’ opinions that these can supply a reference for schools developing their characteristic curriculums.

Анотація:
The study examines the role of different types of value of the material in selecting documents for digitization at Swedish humanities special libraries. The main goals of the study were to find out, which types of value are most and least important in the selection process at these libraries, to aid on the identification of general tendencies in attributing values to analogue material for digitization and to provide an overall depiction of significance of different value types for the digitization at the humanities special libraries in Sweden. The two research questions of the study are: 1) Which aspects of value of the material are most important for the Swedish humanities special libraries in their decisions for selecting documents for digitization? and 2) Is there any agreement about the concept of value of the material for digitization among these special libraries? The empirical data has been gathered by means of an extensive self-completion questionnaire which was constructed on the basis of the analysis of previous research literature on selection of material for digitization. The analysis of the findings demonstrates that the intrinsic (intellectual content) value types and use value types are the most important ones for the Swedish humanities special libraries in selecting documents for digitization. Even though the respondent libraries appear to be in accordance in perceiving and assessing significance of many value categories, several of them generate discrepancies and confusion within the informant library group. Therefore, there isn't any general agreement about the concept of value of the material for digitization among the respondent libraries.
